A ritual killing takes the reader through the many layers of relationships between Apache and Anglo cultures. The myth and spiritual fabric of the Apache community pulls a small town sheriff into a personal journey, making the murder not just a crime to solve, but a passage through memory and being.
The dead never leave us, but whisper old ghost stories in our ear and bring the past to the surface. The psychology of the murder is explored in detail as you see the twists and turns of life dissolve into the ultimate act of retribution, the murder of innocence.
Jake Dablo, a drunken, washed up lawman is unable to get beyond the death of his only grandchild. When an Apache girl is murdered, her Medicine Man grandfather calls upon Jake, his lifelong friend for assistance. They join forces with the current sheriff’s team and uncover the corruption and hidden lives in the tribal reservation and the white world. The closer to the truth they get the more surreal their surroundings become as each culture grapples with the secrets of its own past.
Ultimately the intersection of two cultures and four men who are community pillars, opens larger questions about the collision of the old and new west. When the dead are buried and the ghosts finally die, each character is not the same. For they have lived with each day of their life knowing that a murderer and his mark opens as many doors as it closes.”
